In a recent study on leadership styles within technology-based firms, three leadership styles have been identified; transformational, transactional and ambidextrous leadership. The present study is conducted to determine the level of leadership styles of technology-based firms in Malaysia based on these three styles. A survey was conducted on 46 technology-based firms in Malaysia. The findings revealed that all constrcuts of leadership styles were found to be significant. Practical implications are discussed and suggestions for future research are made.

Leadership refers to the process of how to influence people and guiding them to achieve organisational goals (Northouse, 2007). Firm s effectiveness would differ when leaders apply different leadership styles in the organization (Nahavandi, 2002). Effective leaders are important because they are one of the factors that determine the success or failure of a group, organisation or even a whole country (Fiedler, 1996). With today s stiff competition, studying leadership style is important to identify suitable styles to be adopted by firms (Glantz, 2002). A study conducted by Rosing, Frese and Bausch (2011) indicated three leadership styles were found within technology company. These styles are transformational, transactional and ambidextrous. Growing economies are now looking at high-technology sectors such as bio-technology, nano-technology, ICT and many more as these are the main source of future economic development (Cooper, 2006). It has also been highlighted that technology firm have an impact on economic growth, job opportunities and many innovations (Massa & Testa, 2008). However, to a certain level, limited studies have been taken on technology-based firms as their main focus (Majid, Ismail & Cooper, 2011; Ajagbe et al., 2012). Transformational leadership involves inspiration and charisma. It involves leaders to come up with strategic and clear vision and communicate it effectively with their subordinates (Bass, 1985). The main components of transformational style are idealized attributes, idealized behavior, inspirational motivation, individualized consideration and intellectual stimulation. Robbins (2003) defined transactional leadership as directing and stimulating followers in accordance to stated goals by explaining their role and work requirement. Bass (1985) and Bass and Avolio (2004) classifies transactional style into two main components; contingent reward and management by exception in two forms; active and passive. Ambidextrous leadership refers to a combination of both transformational and transactional leadership where leaders are capable of simultaneoulsy exploiting existing competencies and exploring new opprtunities (Schreuders and Legesse, 2012). It is important for technology firm to be aware in balancing between exploration and exploitation to ensure firm s success (Rosing, Frese and Bausch, 2011). Though many researches have been studying leadership styles, the majority concentrated in manufacturing and services sector (Yang, 2008; Yildrim and Serhat, 2011; Arham and Muenjohn, 2012). No researches specifically in Malaysia looked into leadership styles in technology-based firms. Thus, the present study is important as it aim to determine the level of leadership styles within technology-based firms in Malaysia. This paper consists of four parts. The first section of this paper provides a brief overview of leadership styles followed by research methodology, results and finally discussion and conclusion were presented. 64:3 (2013) eissn ISSN
2 94 Azlin Shafinaz Arshad et al. / Jurnal Teknologi (Social Sciences) 64:23 (2013), RESEARCH METHOD In determining the level of leadership styles of technologybased firms in Malaysia, quantitative research method was adopted. Since there is no available database for technologybased firms in Malaysia, a list was obtained from an agency which has been set up by Malaysian government in overseeing the development of technology-based firms and at the same time involves in providing financial assistance to technology-based firms. This study used random sampling as each individual in the population has an equal probability of being selected (Creswell, 2003). As emphasized by Leedy and Ormrod (2005), random sample is utilized when the characteristics of the sample represent the characteristic of total population. A sample of 138 technology-based firms was considered for the purpose of this study. According to Roscoe s (1975) rule of thumb, a sample size between 30 and 500 is sufficient. The respondents were either the owner/managers due to their knowledge and expertise in terms of operation and direction of the firm. Furthermore, owners/managers are the most informed individuals about the firms overall operational activities (Yang, 2008). A self-reporting instrument was developed for this study containing a total of 41 items representing leadership styles and business background. The leadership style items were adapted from the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) by Bass and Avolio (2004). To facilitate coding and data interpretation, the scaling format were measured on five-point Likert scales ranging from 1= not at all, 2= once in a while, 3= sometimes, 4= frequent and 5=very frequent. The choice of 5-point Likert scale is to reduce confusion among respondents and to ensure decision is made much more swiftly compared to 7-point scale. Besides, these choices clearly identify the agreement, neutrality and disagreement. A cover letter was prepared to explain the purpose of the online questionnaire to the respondents together with the 41 itemed questionnaires. A total of 138 questionnaires were distributed for the study. Respondents were notified to participate in the survey via and were given two weeks to complete the questionnaire. After two weeks, a reminder letter was given through to those who have not responded, together with the extension of the new dateline for submission. After numerous attempts, 109 questionnaires were returned but 63 were removed due to incomplete and missing data. Only 46 questionnaires were found to be usable for this study which represent approximately 33% response rate. Data obtained were analyzed through the SPSS statistical program. Reliability analysis was conducted to identify the constructs of leadership styles. As this is an exploratory study, a t-test is performed to test the data in order to see types of leadership styles preferred by technology-based firms. In this case, the mean leadership styles are 3. Test results with p-values <0.05 will indicate that the null hypotheses should be rejected. The hypothesis is as follows: with 81.6 percent (N=37), followed by medium enterprises, 10.3 percent (N=4) and large enterprises, 8.1 percent (N=5). Majority of the technology-based firms locality are in the central region (69.4 percent), southern region (14.3 percent), northern region (10.2 percent) and eastern region (6.1 percent). The Cronbach s alpha value for overall leadership styles representing 37 items is It indicates that the high Cronbach s alpha value are within the acceptable level as stated by Nunnally (1978) and Pallant (2001), where value above 0.7 is considered reliable. Table 2 presents descriptive analyses for the items of all the three leadership styles. Results of the study show the mean ranging between 4.28 and 1.98 respectively. For transformational style, the highest mean is talk enthusiastically about what needs to be accomplished (m= 4.28) while the lowest is express confidence that goals are difficult to achieve (m=2.87). The highest mean for transactional style is express satisfaction when expectations are met (m=4.20) and interfere before problems become serious (m=1.98) has the lowest mean. The mean for ambidextrous style is highest for commits to improve quality and lower cost (m=4.28) and lowest mean for constantly surveys existing customers satisfaction (m=3.57). All items measuring leaderhsip styles is significant except two items. The mean pessimistic about the future (m=3.22) and express confidence that goals are difficult to achieve (m=2.87) was not significantly different from the hypothesized value of 3 where the significance values are p =.268 and p=.445 respectively. Thus, at the significance level (0.05), we cannot reject the null hypothesis. Table 3 presents the descriptive analyses for one sample t- test for the three constructs of leadership styles. The three constructs (transformational, transactional and ambidextrous) show positive mean ranging from the highest with ambidextrous (m=3.966), followed by transformational (m=3.928) and transactional (m=3.314) which is slightly higher than our population mean of 3. All the three constructs are significant resulting for full support of the hypotheses. H0: the population mean is less than 3 Ha: the population mean is more than RESULTS A general background of companies participated in this study is shown in Table 1. The profile of the company includes the sectors, size of the company, cluster and locality of the business. From the total surveyed, 79.6 percent are technology-based firms in manufacturing sector while 20.4 percent is in services sector. The respondents were heavily from small enterprises

The mean of the variable leadership for this particular sample of technologybased firms are which statistically significantly different from the test value of 3. We would conclude that leaderhsip styles of this technology-based firms is significantly different from the hypothesized value of 3 and H0 is rejected. 4.0 CONCLUSION The main objective of this study was to determine the level of dimensions of leadership styles in the context of technologybased firms in Malaysia. The study has revealed that leadership styles; transformational style, transactional style and ambidextrous style seem to be applicable to technology-based firms in Malaysia. This is consistent with study done by Schreuders and Legesse (2012) where these styles have been found within technology-based firm. In fact, a study conducted by Marmaya et al. (2011) found that transformational and transactional leadership styles are prevalent among Malaysian managers. Furthermore, the results imply that ambidextrous style seems to be the key to leadership styles for technologybased firm. In a comparison of three different leadership styles (N= 46), ambidextrous leadership has the highest mean (m=3.966) followed by transformational and transactional leadership (m=3.928 and m=3.314). Similar results have been obtained by Bass and Avolio (2004) with transformational leadership (m=2.85) has a higher mean compared to transactional leadership (m=2.27). This is in line with studies by Yang (2008) that the mean for transformational leadership is higher than transactional leadership with mean=3.00 and mean=2.68. In another study by Rumani, Ramesh and Jayakrishnan (2010) on 300 managers, they found that leaders in public sector organization in India do have both transformational and transactional behaviors with the mean values of 2.92 and All these studies supports that transformational leadership is more effective than transactional leadership as suggested by Gardner and Stough (2002) Few limitations have been identified from this study. As this current study only focus on technology-based firms in Malaysia, similar study may reflect different results in other parts of the world. Moreover, since this study is an exploratory study, the results of this study do not represent the whole of Malaysian technology-based firms. It is only a reflection on a small fraction of the total population. Therefore cross regional study should be considered for future research. Realizing the importance of leadership in any organization, the styles adopted by leaders is important in ensuring the success of a firm and they should take the initiative to improve their leadership styles.
